New Wine version out! Time for me to start testing if it broke or fixed anything

Thanks for letting me know! Emerging Win 0.3.8 now . It already looks impressive:http://www.winehq.org/?announce=latest_________________Please add [solved] to the initial post's subject line if you feel your problem is resolved. Help answer the unanswered

hmm list is outdated since 0.9.38 is out...
you could delete all not tested in 0.9.38 or move them to "outdated" section.

Ouch your right . I gonna think how to solve this problem. For now I think it might be best to change the title to soemthing like:

How to get your Windows games working
or
Please submit your working game to the Wine appdbd

Maybe it's better to start a new thread with one of the aforementioned headers focusing to provide a short howto get games working in Gentoo under Wine a link to the AppDB so that they find if their game is working and asking them to add games to the AppDB.

Let me know what you think._________________Please add [solved] to the initial post's subject line if you feel your problem is resolved. Help answer the unanswered

version 0.9.38 is finally added to Wine bugzilla version list so it's shown also in Wine appdb....

and no need for short HOWTO for "Getting games working in Wine"... it's all documented in winehq and if it's not
then it's basicly crappy distribution or broken system or bad system settings.

True, although it never hurts to point people in the right direction ._________________Please add [solved] to the initial post's subject line if you feel your problem is resolved. Help answer the unanswered

I'm having some problems with cursor input with Desperados: Wanted dead or Alive

Anyone tried this yet?

Supposedly there's a cursor patch for Wine, but

1 - I can't find the latest one, it kinda disappeared from WineHQ.
2 - Applying the one I found breaks the Wine versions I tried

Any tips?

Your best bet would be to leave your add your Test Results to the AppDB and file a bugreport to winehq bugzilla: http://bugs.winehq.org/_________________Please add [solved] to the initial post's subject line if you feel your problem is resolved. Help answer the unanswered

Collin Mcrae 4 w00t !! sweet, I can tell that Colin Mcrae 2 runs, but frame rates dropp dramatically when there are too many details over the lap, (people weavering hands, etc, etc). Has anyone of you tested this ?

Max Payne 1&2 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein work - and both flawlessly. RtCW will mock about some color depth at startup - just click OK, as usual when a Windows Proggie reports errors

Currently working on getting Civ 4 to run. People say it runs in Cedega, but I doubt that, because the only positive results i've read were in the domain transgaming.com or cedega.com
Anyone had results with Civ4? You will need some proprietary DX9 libs..._________________Error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function.

the screen goes out boundaries, like if it was in half screen mode, ignoring that specific the game seems to run perfectly, say something about fixme:x11, drv blah blah on and so on...

but I cannot play it (~#@ ) seem that's handling display output incorrectly

do you know any workaround for this?... maybe a patch?

thnxs

Ok let me see, which version of Wine do you have? Can you post your xorg.conf? Oh and don't forget to add your test results to the appdb_________________Please add [solved] to the initial post's subject line if you feel your problem is resolved. Help answer the unanswered

I tried version 0.9.41 and 0.9.42, should I downgrade to 0.9.37, do I need to install some microsoxs libraries the game starts and everything else as well starts the cursor, etc... but the display is tore down, (half screen only). Seems like a wine bug to me, do you have a special setup for wine, i.e freetype version. xorg-server version, that works best? Did you tried the game or just installed it, because seems to me that this game needs a lot of microsoxs libraries, prompts out for everything; I've just hit cancel, I don't want loads of unidentifiable cr4pp, , gone well installled, even cancelling loads of cr4pp,
Anyways don't worry that much I realized that I don't want and Arcade SpyGuy, and the older version it's more fun

tnxs again !!

about the results maybe I help out, with the older version, I 've already registered, I 've just deleted the wine installation of '04 , if not I would have post a screenshot

Code:

**********************************************************************
# Module section -- this section is used to specify
# which dynamically loadable modules to load.
# **********************************************************************

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#X Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"

# Any number of ServerLayout sections may be present. Each describes
# the way multiple screens are organised. A specific ServerLayout
# section may be specified from the X server command line with the
# "-layout" option. In the absence of this, the first section is used.
# When now ServerLayout section is present, the first Screen section
# is used alone.

Section "ServerLayout"

Option "AIGLX" "true"
# The Identifier line must be present
Identifier "Simple Layout"

# Each Screen line specifies a Screen section name, and optionally
# the relative position of other screens. The four names after
# primary screen name are the screens to the top, bottom, left and right
# of the primary screen. In this example, screen 2 is located to the
# right of screen 1.

Screen "Screen 0"

# Each InputDevice line specifies an InputDevice section name and
# optionally some options to specify the way the device is to be
# used. Those options include "CorePointer", "CoreKeyboard" and
# "SendCoreEvents".

I actually played the game. I am installing colin mcrae 4 right now (with wine 0.9.35 which I use for compatibility with Prey). I'll let you know.

Update
Ok, Colin Mcrea runs fine here. I also emptied the .wine/drive_c/windows/system32 to see if there weren't any dll's that CM4 needs to run I will now install the latest Wine to see if the results differ.

Update 2
Works fine with Wine 0.9.42 to _________________Please add [solved] to the initial post's subject line if you feel your problem is resolved. Help answer the unanswered
